Cam McCormick's injury list looks like a collection from a roster for a full year. A season ending knee injury as a senior in high school. A broken leg that ended another year as a sophomore for the Ducks. Complications from the surgery on his leg would take another two seasons from him, not to mention the second was in the middle of a pandemic. Finally back on the field in 2021, an Achilles tear would end his 5th year in Eugene in only the second game. But through all of that, McCormick has continued to comeback and prove that no injury will keep him down.

Dennis Dixon helped usher in a new era for the Oregon Ducks. The dual threat quarterback will always be revered for his style of play that showcased the high octane, fast-paced offense the Ducks ran once Chip Kelly showed up in 2007. And had it not been for a series of injuries that derailed that '07 team, Dixon might (definitely, for sure) have lead Oregon to their first National Title.

Oregon's men basketball record during Jim Barnett's time in Eugene doesn't exactly pop out of the record books. No NCAA tournament appearances. No conference titles. Not even a winning season. But none of that would stop Barnett from carving out a place of his own in the history of the Ducks. Barnett’s basketball career now spans seven decades, from playing with some of the all-time greats to having an up close view of the revolution of the game.
